Don Du Bose, rally chairman, had this to say of his ‘ hottest rally of tthe year”:
Cheers
‘ We need the whole student body's support tomorrow, for this is the biggest game of the year and the one we've been pointing towards. Let's see if our cheers can’t carry the team all the way to Pasadena.”
Du Bose said that standing room only is expected at the event. The organizer of past rally successes this year advised, however, that starting time would be exactly at 12.
‘‘I realize,’ he said, “that rooters are excited about Saturday's game, but classes cannot be dismissed before 11:50. I hope every loyal Trojan keeps this in mind"
Exchange Minister To Speak Sunday
As part of an exchange mission involving more than 400 Methodist ministers, Dr. Charles Kendall will speak at the University Methodist church Sunday morning and evening, and each evening of next week.
His 'week here will end with an address in the Hollywood Bowl.
Bishop G. Bromely Oxam. former SC faculty member, will also speak.
ROSE BOWL BOUND? This is the question that will be answered tomorrow when the Trojans meet Stanford in the Coliseum. The card ■ stunt shown above, performed two weeks ago in hopeful anticipation, may be prophetic if the three men pictured have anything to say about it.

Baxter Will Deliver Tribute To Alma Mater at Half time
In honor of the 1951 Homecoming, Dr. Frank C. Baxter has written a special tribute to the Alma Mater. Dr. Baxter will read the following tribute at halftime tomorrow:
“Bound by the ties of love and gratitude, the sons and daughters of Alma Mater return to her today.
Here is the home where we grew into manhood and womanhood: here we met the great world of ideas, the world of the arts and the sciences, the world of human thought and action. Here Alma Mater shaped us, and gave us the techniques and the ideals by which we live. She
taught us about the great men and women of the past: how they lived and loved and dreamed and strove—and won or lost the battle. Here we me:, through books? and discourse and lectures, the great miqds of our own day.
Here we read and worked and thought and talked and played— and made friends.
Out of all this, Alma Mater made us wiser men and women— stronger, and better able to meet the problems and the dilemmas that face us in the future.
For these things, our love and gratitude to Alma Mater as once again we come home to her.”
DT Hit By IFC
Boycott
In protest against the ‘’scan-dalous” Ramona Rhodes column chro/iicling SC fraternity and sorority life, the Interfratemity council yesterday issued an official IFC proclamation condemning the Daily Trojan feature column.
Brought before the council as official interfratemity business, the protest statement was passed by a vote of 32 to 1. Lone dissenting member was Bob Hitchcock. Sigma Nu representative. Upon the acceptance of the official IFC proclamation, the council also unanimously voted to boycott the SCandals column by refusing to convey any notices and highlights of coming or past fraternity activities.
The official IFC protest states that:
Yellow1 Journalism
“The type of yellow journalism exhibited in the Daily Trojan’s SCandals column reflects unfavorably on both the Daily Trojan staff and the School of Journalism.”
“Our school publication, a consistent winner of All-American ratings in the past, is exchanged with other University newspapers all over the country. When students at these other schools glance thl-ough our DT and come upon phrases such as, ‘kick in the G-string’ and others of equally questionable taste, one wonders what their opinions of the University of Southern California must be.”
“In times such as these, when our University’s football team is being libeled by newspapers and magazines across the country with uncalled-for accusations of ‘dirty’ football playing, it behooves our school newspaper to be on guard at all times to uphold the dignity (Continued on Page 8)

“I would like to thank the Miracle Mile association for their tremendous cooperation. Without their help this 1951 Homecoming parade would not have been possible,” said Frank.
Stanford TV Called Off, Says Hunter
The SC-Stanford game at the Coliseum Saturday will not be televised, said Willis O. Hunter, SC director of intercollegiate athletics.
According to a written statement released by Hunter’s office late last night, it was originally planned to televise the game to cities east of Chicago. However, difficulties in lining up sponsors and getting the network cleared has held up the deal.
Keep Fans’ Faith
Hunter said that SC would not televise Saturdays game locally to keep faith with local fans who have purchased tickets. “Many of these fans would not have bought tickets if the game was televised,” he said.
Would Need OK
When the Stanford-SC game took on such great proportions, the American Broadcasting Company sent out feelers to see if SC would be willing to televise the game. As tickets became harder and harder to get, ABC showed more and more interest.
Aside from clearing the network, SC would have had to get the permission of the PCC, the NCAA, and Stanford university before it could have given the ABC the green light.
